Subuser: Docker as Desktop Programs
Whalebrew[0] has been doing this for years, though Subuser appears to provide more configuration/access control.

It's not a new nor crazy idea...Jessie (jessfraz.com) talked about doing this[1] in their desktop environment back in 2015.

Nextcloud on Raspberry Pi - Fedora + Podman Quadlets
A Quadlet is a way to create a service (with systemd) from a container. It uses Podman, a container engine. As it is OCI complient, the Docker images are compatibles with Podman.

I Chose Common Lisp
And there's no REPL for the editor--so I can't actually find out details, let alone fix anything.
I had thought emacs DX was bad--but I've revised my opinion now: compared to vscode DX, emacs DX is great. You live with VSCode if you want to.
And note, vscode was made after emacs was made. There's no excuse for this.
I think this now was about all the time that I want to waste on this thing, again.
How is this a problem in 2025? shakes head
>VS Code managed to by-pass the qualitiy and amount of extensions/plugins in a fraction of time Emacs took decades.
Yeah? Seems to me these vscode extensions are written in crayon. Bad quality like that would never make it into emacs mainline. And it's not even strictly about that! I wonder who would write a developer tool that the developer can't easily debug its own extensions in. That flies about as well as a lead balloon.
For comparison, there's emacs bufferenv that does dev containerization like this and it works just fine. Configuration: 1 line--the names of the containerfiles one wants it to pick up. Also, if I wanted to debug what it did (which is rare) I could just evaluate any expression whatsoever in emacs. ("Alt-ESC : «expression»" anywhere)
PS. manually running "podman-compose up" in an example project as a regular user works just fine--starts up the project and everything needed. So what are they overcomplicating here? Pipes too hard?
PPS. I've read some blog article to make socket activation work for rootless podman[1] but it's not really talking about vscode. Instead, it talks how one would set up "linger" so that the container stays there when I'm logged out. So that's not for dev containers (why would I possibly want that there? I'm not ensuring Heisenbugs myself :P).

Beyond Docker - A DevOps Engineer's Guide to Container Alternatives
In the intensity of working as a DevOps engineer with the container, I have found Podman to be a game-changer in teams that take the security aspect seriously-that means avoiding root privileges. It's daemonless compared with Docker, which is a big architectural change. Daemonless approach just magically changes how teams do container security in production environments.

Day 3: What is Docker and why should I care?
Docker is a company that maintains the Docker software and also offers a cloud service to run Docker containers in the cloud. They run DockerHub, which is a platform to store share and run Docker images. The actual standard for Docker containers is called OCI (Open Container Initiative). Because Docker is based on OCI there are many other tools that can interact with Docker containers, like Podman or Lima. If you want to go really deep, I really recommend reading the OCI specification! It's long but super interesting.
